Story
In the year 2031, a robot probe detects traces of biological activity on Enceladus, one of Saturn's moons. This sensational discovery shows that there is indeed evidence of extraterrestrial life. Fifteen years later, a hurriedly built spacecraft sets out on the long journey to the ringed planet and its moon. The international crew is not just facing a difficult twenty-seven months: if the spacecraft manages to make it to Enceladus without incident it must use a drillship to penetrate the kilometer-thick sheet of ice that entombs the moon.

Story
Jupiter's moon Io has an extremely hostile environment. There are hot lava streams, seas of boiling sulfur, and frequent volcanic eruptions straight from Dante’s Inferno, in addition to constant radiation bombardment and a surface temperature hovering at minus 180 degrees Celsius. Is it really home to a great danger that threatens all of humanity? That's what a surprise message from the life form discovered on Enceladus seems to indicate.

Story
Russian billionaire Nikolai Shostakovitch makes an offer to the former crew of the spaceship ILSE. He will finance a return voyage to the icy moon Enceladus. The offer is too good to refuse - the expedition would give them the unique opportunity to recover the body of their doctor, Dimitri Marchenko. Everyone on board knows that their benefactor acts out of purely personal motivations... but the true interests of the tycoon and the dangers that he conjures up are beyond anyone's imagination.

There is a huge, bold black streak in the sky. Branches appear out of nowhere over North America, Southern Europe, and Central Africa. People who live beneath The Rift can see it. But scientists worldwide are distressed - their equipment cannot pick up any type of signal from it. The rift appears to consist of nothing. Literally. Nothing. Nada. Niente. Most people are curious but not overly concerned. The phenomenon seems to pose no danger. It is just there. Then something jolts the most hardened naysayers, and surpasses the worst nightmares of the world's greatest scientists.

At the same time, an expedition returns from neighbouring moon Enceladus. The crew lands on Titan and finds a dangerous secret that risks their return to Earth. Meanwhile, on Enceladus a deathly race has started that nobody thought was possible. And its outcome can only be decided by the astronauts that are stuck on Titan.

Interesting book, odd execution
Fun story interesting idea. Odd execution in that the author did not use contractions. The reader/performer seems to accentuate this, and actually adds little cheerful lilts sometimes on to serious passages. Perhaps some of this is on purpose? I am left scratching my head and wondering. I realize this was likely translated from German. But editors should be solving these problems for the author. Over all the text is reminiscent of lines from a godzilla movie or any movie Native American character played by Lou Diamond Phillip's. All said, this is still an interesting story. And in a genre with too much magic and superman heroes wielding swords and blasters, this is some fun and plausible actual science fiction.

Good but with flaws
The story, when the author actually gets around to telling it instead of concentrating on the introspective thoughts and musings of the characters is interesting. The nasally voice of the narrator gets on my nerves, especially the way he rushes through every sentence making them sound like they should be a fragments. Then you have the author's attention to detail, endless detail, how every character looks, what they feel from seen to seen, what they see and what they feel and think about what they seeing. There is a lot of fluff. The way every single thing in the book is described in painstaking detail you would think this was a script for a movie that requires long, flowery descriptions to easily translate into the visual medium. The punctuation and tenor makes every character seem like they are recording an official report: MM/D/YYYY At X time I got up. I walked over and looked out the window. I got something to eat. I put on my suit. I walked outside. I was not concerned. MM/DD/YYYYY X/Time I looked down at my shoe. I thought this and then thought back to my childhood and my abusive father. I looked at the lake. I decided to test the lake composition by sticking my hand into the lake to see if it was cold. On and on and on. It gets old fast. Also there are no contractions used. Everything it cold and 'proper' English. Instead of I'm or You've or Shouldn't it is I am, You have, I should not, etc.

I can't make up my mind on this story....
Like all books, it's up to the readers to listen and value the story. I can't comment too much as at times I enjoyed it, other times I could have put it aside. Whatever you decide, is entirely up to you. It's not a bad choice.... but possibly not the best.
